okonvick Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi, gotta install IONetworkingFamily.kext, but dont know how. when i copy it into /System/Library/Extensions and reboot, i get an error saying that the extension wasnt installed properly. I red something like i have to set some permissions using chmod and chown, but i dont know how to set them (i know how to use the commands, but dont know for ex. to what do i have to chmod the kext in order to work). Could anyone help me? Please, its quite urgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 In terminal, simply type in diskutil repairPermissions / then reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 In terminal, simply type in diskutil repairPermissions / then reboot. Nice try, but unfortunately it often doesn't get the job done. for a catch-all solution to chmod & chown'ing new kexts, just try: sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
